[CWG-Stewardship] Do we really need a Contracting Co.?

[Gomes, Chuck]

In addition to Avri’s points, the GNSO and ccNSO are policy management bodies and my understanding that there is strong agreement that policy and IANA functions should be separated.

hi,

GNSO and ccNSO have no ability to sign a contract with anyone, they are just parts of ICANN and ICANn cannot sign a contract with itself.

The contracting authority for IANA must be outside ICANN and it must be an entity that is capable of signing a contract.

Avri,

I want to clarify. You wrote:

The problem is that if the ICANN internal multistakeholder community says A, the ICANN Board can say Not A, and there is NOTHING we can do about it.

The avenue I am exploring is to empower the ccNSO and the gNSO as such with the capacity to sign an MoU with the chosen IANA contractor (and to choose it). In that approach, the ICANN Board would NOT be in the loop.

Does that clarify and answer your concern?

B.

Indeed the PRT does that.

The problem is that if the ICANN internal multistakeholder community says A, the ICANN Board can say Not A, and there is NOTHING we can do about it.  Thus there needs to be an external entity that the ICANN stakeholder environment we have created can directly affect without threat of capture by ICANN Corporate.

That is the primary Capture Entity we need to concern ourselves with: ICANN Corporate.
